I installed Red Hat 7.1.
I found that .profile is not geting executed for any user. I checked the location of .profile . It is in home directory. What may be the reason. Thank you in advance!!! |

Is the .profile in each home directory of each user?
Example: account home directory joeuser /home/joeuser doeuser /home/doeuser Each /home/xxxuser should have a .profile - each .profile should be owned by the xxxuser |

What shell are they using?
If it's /bin/bash, then the profile is "$HOME/.bash_profile". There's also a .bashrc. /bin/tcsh uses a different one, etc. Check the man page for each shell to see what files it needs. |
